For the berry chantilly cream:
heavy whipping cream
powdered sugar
vanilla extract
berry jam or fresh berry puree

For the latte:
espresso or strong brewed coffee
milk of choice
ice (optional, for iced version)

Directions

Start by preparing the berry chantilly cream. In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until it begins to thicken. Add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and berry jam or puree. Continue whipping until soft, fluffy peaks form. Set aside in the refrigerator.

Brew your espresso or strong coffee and let it cool slightly if making an iced version.

If serving iced, fill a glass with ice. Pour in the milk, followed by the espresso. If serving hot, heat and froth the milk before combining it with the espresso.

Top the latte generously with the berry chantilly cream. You can add an extra drizzle of berry puree on top for a decorative finish.

Serve immediately and enjoy.

Variations

You can use different berries such as strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries to change the flavor profile. For a dairy-free option, use coconut cream for the chantilly topping and plant-based milk for the latte. Add a touch of flavored syrup like vanilla or almond for extra depth. You can also blend the drink with ice for a frappé-style version.

Storage/Reheating

The berry chantilly cream can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days in an airtight container. Rewhip lightly if needed before using. The latte itself is best enjoyed fresh and should not be stored once assembled. If making a hot version, avoid reheating after adding the cream topping.
